Evaluation

东北往事 (Northeast Past) launched on Steam on June 22, 2026. Since release, the developer has been active with quick follow-up patches: a same-day patch on June 23 adjusted difficulty tuning in Chapter 1, a second patch on June 24 added in-game hints and UI improvements, and a further patch on June 26 fixed typos and minor bugs. These are all post-launch polish updates typical of a freshly shipped game. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap, no season pass, and no developer statements announcing future content. Because the game only launched 10 days ago, there simply isn't enough history yet to determine whether additional content is planned beyond what shipped at launch.
Evidence
Small patch corrected typos in dialogue text and fixed minor bugs.

About This Game

A Star-Studded Team for an Authentic Adaptation

Directed by Kong Ergou, the original author of the novel, the game stays true to the core of the beloved storyline. Di Huangjin, a renowned interactive movie game producer, oversees the entire gameplay experience from concept to release. The original star cast of the IP also returns for this adaptation. While preserving the IP’s iconic essence, we’ve crafted a fresh take on the story, delivering cinematic live-action interactive gameplay that captures the unadulterated spirit of the Northeast underworld and a one-of-a-kind brand of Eastern heroic fervor.

An Iconic IP – Live the Underworld Legend Yourself

The original novel has sold over 40 million copies, and its live-action adaptation is a Douban classic with an 8.8/10 rating! This time, you’re no longer a bystander to the legend—you forge and write your own 20 years of fiery heroism. Step into the Northeast underworld of the 80s and 90s, and make pivotal choices that could either ignite a blazing legacy or lead to total ruin, amid the fire and frost of a transformative era.

Your Choices Shape the Underworld

Play as Zhao Hongbing and navigate the twists and turns of a life of chaos and courage, making choices that split the story into distinct paths at every turn. Stand by your brothers through thick and thin without hesitation, or swallow your pride and endure humiliation just to survive—every decision unlocks a radically different story branch. Will you become a legendary underworld lord? Or will your fiery life burn out too soon, a tragic ballad cut short? Unlock a host of epic, high-stakes endings as you carve your path.

Immersive Era, Meticulous Detail

With top-tier artistic craftsmanship, the game recreates an era where passion and courage ran through every street. From rusted old factory districts to neon-drenched nightclubs, every scene is steeped in the raw, unfiltered energy of 1980s and 90s Northeast China.

Dynamic Relationships, a Vivid Cast of Characters

Every encounter with the classic characters from the live-action series is a collision of fates, forging unbreakable bonds of brotherhood and heroism. The game’s Archive System delves deep into every character’s backstory, breathing life and humanity into them. Uncover hidden character arcs rife with loyalty, betrayal, and unspoken friendship—each one a new layer to the underworld’s rich tapestry.

The gates to the Northeast underworld are open… “It’s time to settle the score.”

 

Mate, wishlist the game now and embark on an unforgettable journey of Eastern heroic fervor!
